Caleb Houstan saw his professional basketball dreams come true on Thursday night with the Orland Magic selecting him with the No. 32 overall pick in the second round of the 2022 NBA Draft. The former Michigan wing joins former Wolverines Franz Wagner, Moe Wagner and Ignas Brazdeikis on the Magic roster. Former U-M center Jon Teske is on the G League’s Lakeland Magic.

With the No. 43 pick in the 2022 NBA Draft, the Los Angeles Clippers selected Michigan Wolverines basketball forward/center Moussa Diabate

“Another upside pick for a Clipper team that’s been known for focusing on developing,” ESPN analyst Bobby Marks said on the broadcast. “Twenty years old, athletic, 6-11, 220 pounds. Nine points, six rebounds. I think you’re probably looking at — when we get to this point in the draft right now — we’re looking at players that are likely going to be tagged with a two-way contract and just focused on development — and then down the road, as a foundational piece for the future.”

Michigan Wolverines football players J.J. McCarthy, Donovan Edwards, Carter Selzer and Junior Colson visited with children at C.S. Mott Children’s Hospital.

“This brought so much joy,” the hospital’s Twitter account posted. “Grateful for our team!”

Quote Of The Day

“It was great. I got to meet a lot of guys like Semaj (Morgan), Brooks Bahr and Cole (Cabana). I got to chill with those guys, which is my favorite part about official visits. Your official visits are your top schools, so you’ve probably been there before. Hanging out with the guys you could be around and the staff you could be around for the next four years really makes the visit. It’s a big factor. It can be the best school in the world, but if you don’t want to be around the people, you would never go there. It was a really good feeling at Michigan. I got to see (Jim) Harbaugh way more than I expected. I thought he was just going to do the introduction, and that was going to be the last time I saw him until the meeting. But I got to be around him a lot. That was really cool.” — On300 EDGE Enow Etta on Michigan official visit
